TraditionalWhen I First Came To This Lan — текст песни (Oscar Brand)

When I first came to this land,

I was not a wealthy man.

So I built myself a shack,

I did what I could.



And he called his shack,

Break my back.

But the land was sweet and good,

And I did what I could.



When I first came to this land,

I was not a wealthy man.

So I got myself a cow,

I did what I could.



And he called his cow,

No milk now.

Called his shack,

Break my back.

Oh, the land was sweet and good,

And I did what I could.



When I first came to this land,

I was not a wealthy man.

So I got myself a duck,

I did what I could.



And I called my duck,

Outta luck.

Called his cow,

No milk now.

Called his shack,

Break my back.

But the land was sweet and good,

And I did what I could.



When I first came to this land,

I was not a weathy man.

So I got myself a wife,

I did what I could.



And he called his wife,

Run for your life.

Called his duck,

Outta luck.

Called his cow,

No milk now.

Called his shack,

Break my back.

But the land was sweet and good,

And I did what I could.



When I first came to this land,

I was not a wealthy man.

So I had myself a son,

I did what I could.



And he called his son,

My works done.

But, the land was sweet and good,

And I did what I could.



But, the land was sweet and good.

Yes, the land was sweet good,

And I did what I could.
